Rebbe Nachman of Breslov was the great-grandson of Rebbe Yisrael, the Baal Shem Tov—Master of
the Good Name— founder of the Chassidic movement. Rebbe Nachman was a Kabbalist
and a mystic of the highest order, and yet at the same time was artlessly
practical and down-to-earth.
The Tales of Rebbe Nachman is a profound
journey to PaRDeS
(four different levels of understanding the Torah), we
can go from mundane to higher spiritual levels, depending solely on each
person, being a Torah scholar
or a beginner. Basically,
these tales will
allow a "refinement" to serve
God, because in reality, the characters, the facts can be internalized in our lives, a source of inspiration for each and every
situation, yet filled with the most esoteric Kabbalistic symbolism!
To help us understand some of the
concepts hidden or
revealed, here are comments included
the great kabbalist Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, of blessed memory. Each note opens a door
for us to gain
greater understanding of the esoteric concepts. Many other allusions
to the Bible,Talmud, Midrash, and Kabbalah are also included in these notes.
Also, we have a good preface by Rabbi Chaim Kramer, founder and
director of the Breslov Research Institute in Jerusalem.
The holy words of these stories stand in the highest places; Rabbi Nachman says the greatest secrets of life can be found through the
telling of simple stories. On the hand, these stories are wondrous, authentic and enjoyable. Inside, they contain the mysteries of life itself, if
you concentrate his mind and heart on these stories, one
can discover more than he or she imagined but until a young child can to
appreciate the stories.
Most of all, Rabbi Nachman
of Breslov speaks about life itself – A book to
be read by the whole family and
for all ages.
